Q:

I never used to sleep walk, but the last 2 times I have drank my roommate said that I came into his room in the middle of the night. I have no recollection of this, but I don't think that is because I was so drunk that I don't remember. Do people normally start sleep walking later in their life (early 20's)? Is sleep walking linked to drinking? Thanks

A:

There are a number of reasons for sleep walking, including stress factors and yes, alcohol or drug use can precipitate it. If this is continuing despite not using alcohol, you'll want to consider doing a sleep evaluation.
